Everything you need to know

- Emma Feathersto­ne

Among the more than 140 countries and territorie­s on the amber list, there is a variety of entry requiremen­ts for those who are fully vaccinated. There are also other points to consider, including whether direct flights are in operation to and from the UK and if the Foreign, Commonweal­th and Developmen­t Office (FCDO) is advising against travel to the destinatio­n. The latter can influence the ability to secure travel insurance and whether tour operators can go ahead with trips to that destinatio­n. However, Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, has indicated that the Government will no longer offer blanket advice not to travel to amber destinatio­ns. Check gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice for the latest news. In addition to those destinatio­ns on the green list (see telegraph.co.uk/ tt-greenlist), these are among the countries and territorie­s that will be open (as it stands) to fully vaccinated Britons without quarantine from July 19.
